Newsletter 12 - Healthcare Caterers International
Newsletter Series 2 No 12 Your Endeavours continue to be recognised. The Long Room at Lord’s Cricket Ground in London in late January saw you efforts in 2014 gain further recognition when Nutrition and Hydration Week collected the Health and Vitality Public Sector Award, the week was also runner up the Communications Award (not bad for two caterers and nurse). The week was recognised because of the work you all did in raising the profile of food and drink in health and social care (LTC) settings in March 2014. A big thankyou to you all for your support and continued support of the week and the passion to bring good nutritional care, including hydration to those you care for and the wider stakeholders. It was great to see the week nominated among a list of national and multi national companies. It places the collective we are, providers and suppliers – large and small – health and social / LTC – caterer/foodservice and clinical+, amongst the big multi nationals, demonstrating the tremendous effort and work you put in not just to the week but everyday is now being recognised. Plans are continuing to come in via emails, Twitter, & Facebook. Here are some of the latest. The University Hospitals of Leicester have decided to focus each day on a different theme of relating to Nutrition and Hydration within the hospital. Their timetable of the week is: Monday – Highlighting the importance of the MUST screening tool for malnutrition.

Wednesday – Worldwide afternoon cream tea (to be sponsored by Nutricia) on our care of the elderly/dementia wards. Thursday – Focusing on how to accurately weigh patients and complete food record charts as part of our nutrition care. Friday – A particular focus on the importance of Complan shakes in hydration which are currently being introduced across the NHS trust.
